The equation would be (x+4)+x=18. X stands for the amount of pears Wilma bought, and (x+4) is the amount of pears Tania bought (because she bought four more pounds than Wilma).
(X+4)+x=18
2x+4=18 (now you subtract four from both sides)
2x=14 (to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2)
X=7
Wilma bought 7 pounds of pears :3
Answer:
y=1/2x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
First use slope formula.

Plug in the information needed.

The slope is
.
Now, use point-slope formula.
y-y1=m(x-x1)
Plug in the information needed.
y-3=1/2(x-4)
y-3=1/2x-2
y=1/2x+1
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=1/2x+1.
Hope this helps!
If not, I am sorry.
8x-8...............I think so if it’s distributed
It's easy once you spot the ones that can cross cancel!
Say we have the fractions 8/10 and 20/23.
(it's easier to see on top of each other)
If you look diagonally , so 8 and 23 and 10 and 20, you can see that 10 and 20 have a common factor. So we divide it by the highest common factor to reduce those numbers, making it easier to multiply. 10 and 20 can become 1 and 2, dividing by 10. So now we are left with 8/1 and 2/23, and now we multiply normally going across so 16/23.
This works going both diagonals and simplifying both, but in that case it would be easier to try and simplify the fractions before cross multiplying them.
Basically: look for those diagonals and if they can be divided down by the highest common factor, go for it to make it easier to multiply normally afterwards.
Hope I helped!
